Chapter 1117 - The Contestants She Had Noticed
Chapter 1117: The Contestants She Had Noticed
The focus of the live broadcast was on the contestants. As they faced a group of cheap-looking long skirts and displayed all kinds of emotions, the judges had already begun to dismiss them one after another.
Jiang Li sat at the edge of the stage, waving the fan in her hand from time to time. She was very satisfied with everything that was going on in front of her.
She had just peeked at the news on her phone. The comments on the internet about Qing Xin were very high. Even if it was only about her appearance, she was already very happy.
This was enough to prove that her special effects makeup was very successful.
Fu Jiuxiao arranged for Jiang Li to get into the dean’s car, and then she went to the special car arranged by Tai Jian. She rushed to the venue and avoided everyone’s ears.
She was very professional.
Jiang Li heard a judge sigh. “A large portion of them are too focused on the brand and ignore the quality of the material. That’s already a big loss.”
Jiang Li smiled and said, “These finished clothes should have handmade parts, but there are flaws in the design, making it lose its beauty.”
The eyes of the judge who spoke just now lit up, and he asked with a smile, “Did teacher Qing Xin find out?”
“There are many traditional skills in China that were ignored because they were not given enough commercial value. In addition, there are a lot of flaws in the design of the products, so it’s really a pity that they were not recognized by the market,” Jiang Li said with a sigh.

The judges nodded in agreement.
At this moment, many comments popped up on the bullet screen. While they were amazed by Qing Xin’s vision, they were also pitying the neglected traditional skills.
Some netizens also noticed that the handmade parts of the finished clothes, especially the content of the embroidery, were very exquisite.
Jiang Li did not know that her words had garnered the attention of the netizens. It had caused a small craze of ‘seeking tradition’ and also aroused the curiosity of the netizens abroad.
She only paid attention to the designers on the stage. Some of them acted slowly because they were disgusted with her, and some even acted like they were hot-tempered.
The one who really caught Jiang Li’s attention was Lydia.
This girl was calm and unhurried. She would carefully avoid the embroidery portion of the content she modified, but she could only choose to give up on the other handmade parts.
Very good.
Jiang Li admired Lydia very much.
She was also willing to continue investigating Lydia’s background. Without any conflict of interest, she was willing to have more exchanges with Lydia.
At this moment, Jiang Man on the stage was not as peaceful as Jiang Li had seen.
She hated the terrible fabric in her hands and the embroidery. She only wanted to modify the finished garment to look like her favorite.
However, she could not!
Jiang Man understood the competition too well. It was impossible for her to easily change the original tone of a finished garment. Instead, she should focus on modifying it.
If she wanted to win, she had to follow the rules.
Designers who could change the rules and gain recognition had to be at least like Qing Xin’s disciple, Jiang Li. The designers who participated in the competition were mostly newbies and did not have the qualifications to negotiate with the clients.
Jiang Man took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down until all the modifications were completed. She checked again before stepping back and waiting for the other designers.
It was time!
The judges carried out the first round of grading and the halftime break.
At this moment, Jiang Li raised her hand.
The host was very happy. It was not the contestants who could bring a lot of discussions online, but Qing Xin, who was sitting in the judges’ seats with her own brilliance.
Jiang Li took the microphone and said softly, “All the contestants are very outstanding. I thought of it on the spur of the moment. I want to choose one of the contestants who will enter the second round of the competition to guide them.”
The host immediately asked in surprise, “Does teacher Qing Xin want to take in a disciple?”
Who was Qing Xin’s disciple?
It was Jiang Li.
It was easy to guess that Qing Xin no longer recognized Jiang Li, or that there was a designer who was more outstanding than Jiang Li, so she wanted to take in a disciple again.
The current guess was only Jiang Li’s current thought, but she did not intend to cause trouble for herself.
“It’s just guidance,” Qing Xin corrected the host.
The host nodded with emotion, “Even if it’s just guidance, the chosen contestant will have a lot of gains.”
How could it just be that?
Another judge also said the same thing as Jiang Li, but he was not just giving guidance, he was taking in a disciple.
Immediately, some of the contestants raised their hands, wanting to acknowledge her as their master on the spot.
The scene was once pleasant, but the score was also sent to the host.
After one round of the competition, only ten people were left to enter the second round.
Why?
The judge who indicated that he wanted to take in a disciple stood up and explained to everyone the origin of the finished clothes and the historical knowledge behind them.
At this moment, Jiang Man could not help but be stunned and suddenly became happy.
Oh, God!
She was really lucky.
If she revealed her true nature and did not take a liking to the finished clothes, she might also be eliminated in the first round.
Even God was helping her.
Jiang Man clenched her fists and lowered her head, but she had another thought in her mind.
The second round was very important.
Jiang Man did not know which direction she was going to change, but she had an inspiration just now.
These judges seemed to be attracted by the word ‘traditional’, so she might as well do some details on the design.
The second round had begun!
When Jiang Man raised her head confidently, the camera was also aimed at her face.
